- A selection of tracks that influenced Yuzo Koshiro (古代祐三) and Motohiro Kawashima (川島基宏), when using the Yamaha YM2612, to create the music for Streets Of Rage 1 & 2 on the Sega Megadrive/Genesis.

The "Go Straight" melody riff was apparently a banger in the clubs, considering all the songs it's in.
Edit: It's so good that Yuzo used it again in SOR 4 for the opening track "They're Back".
Thank you for your comment so is it safe to say much of Streets of rage 4 soundtrack was **borrowed** as well?
Wanna know something ???
I found something COMPLETELY SIMILAR TO (GO STRAIGH STAGE)
Look for All around the world by Lisa Stanfield.
Go Straight is one of the best compositions from any medium ever
Really is 👌
honestly impressive how many different amazing songs go straight is a mashup of. like putting all of that together shows off a really good ear
Or a good thumb for Shazam
SoR 1 - Round 7 - Crystal Waters "Gypsy Woman"
SoR 2 - Round 3 - (Alien Power) Ralphi Rosario - " You Use To Hold Me
SoR 1 & 2 Theme could also be Soul II Soul - "Keep On Movin" for the Piano Bass & Strings.
Thanks for the heads up!
The 90s was the best golden era and I am glad that I grew up to this in the gaming and music
Yuzo actually made some of these sound better.. using a Genesis sound chip. Legend.
It really puts in perspective the hard work yuzo koshiro put into making the music sound so close to the real synths
Those are some damn good influences.
I like how Yuzo blended in a mix of Chicago House, Detroit Techno, UK and Belgian Hardcore Rave and German and Dutch Trance! It’s the perfect mix!
So true 👌
Yeah, I like how he took SOR2's OST to the next level by doing just that! So cool!
Creamfields: Im the most diverse EDM festival in town
Street of Rage: cool story, bro.
I have the same opinion of Manabu Namiki, I was really hoping he'd do music for SOR4
I always wondered why this soundtrack sounded so familiar. Was big into UK hardcore in 1992.
"Go Straight" easily one of the best songs in video game history
I back that
This video is just pure gem of good music
Damm Yuzo Koshiro....i still love the guy though for keeping me grooving while kicking a## lol
Blake Jackson Yeah, amazing soundtrack
@@cuttie1427 it sure is. It's in my playlist
Ok, while this goes beyond "influences" in many cases, it's also quite easy to notice that many of the original songs that "influenced" the OSTs were already pretty similar between themselves; those who influenced "Go Straight" in particular.
Royal House - Can you party , Techtronic - Pump Up the Jam, Black Kiss - Jump on the floor are also the same for figthnign in the Street
House/EDM from that era used similar samples so the entire DJ set flows together. There's several famous and even more not-so-famous singles that sound like Fighting in the Street, for example. Having said that, Motohiro Kawashima's music contribution to the SOR series had more originality
Great job & thank you!
Playing Bare Knuckle AKA Streets of Rage non-stop at 12 was my baptism to a lifetime of Chicago House & Detroit Techno...
Thanks for watching. Yeah, Streets of Rage has moulded my music tastes
I didn't even knew for the longest time but for me is the same, techno and house are still my favorite generes of music almost 30 years later ad I think is thanks to this game
@@NaXX999 Nice one, yeah it's timeless
Hell yeah
💯💯💯
The boss fight was my fav
There is a song in SEGA' game "Dr. Robotnik Mean Bean Machine" that is a complete rip-off of this same Kreftwork song.
Yes
This makes a lot of sense of my recent obsession with Chicago House.
One of the greatest videos on the whole TH-cam
The good old days of chiptunes when you could lift rifts and no one would notice.
Even in most rap music in the 90s/2000s people did not notice.
They probably noticed but people didn't say much as it was a different time. People nowadays like to call plagiarism or hate but all music influences all others. There's only but so many music combinations as shown in this video hiw multiple records sound like each other so that would mean those guys are ripping each other off as well.
I'm not sure if the following songs i mention in this message sampled older songs but it sounds very much like "Livin Joy - Dreamer" was sampled by SoR2. Also, I just heard "Double You - Looking at my Girl" and oh my goodness, it sounds exactly like a SOR2 song from the game.
"Influences"
Just like Bobby Prince with Doom :)
And Duke Nukem 3D.
Yea influences
@@TheOneSymphony At 4:50 That track called Mutoid Waste by Magoria is pure fire.
I only found out about it from this video.
Anyone who is interested, search for:
Magoria - Mutoid Waste (12 inch mix)
also known as
Magoria - Mutoid Waste (Tantric Tempo)
"A good artist copies, a great one steals"
I think all the "influences" for Go Straight are a bit misleading, Good Life by Inner City was such a massive club hit that everyone and their dog ripped it off circa 1990 (hence all the soundalikes). It's possible though unlikely that Yuzo Koshiro was inspired by one of the Good Life soundalikes and not the original, but it's more likely that it's inspired by Good Life
Stage 1: Go Straight!
Stage 1: Go Straight!
Stage 1: Go Straight!
Stage 1: Go Straight!
Stage 1: Go Straight!
Stage 1: Go Straight!
Not enough of this masterpiece
Well done!!
I was trying to find a video like this, thank you very mucho, very good work.
Nice one, thanks for watching 👍
Under Logic is also influenced by _"Ebeneezer Goode"_ from Shamen.
That was Move Any Mountain actually.
@@malworld.5535 Yes, that is right.
Wait...He may be right....But on a different song though.
After listening to the instrumental version of Ebeneezer Goode by The Shamen at 0:44 in the song (when the rapping is supposed to start)
I can hear it's influence on Streets Of Rage Stage 1-1 (Go Straight) at 1:14 in the video game music.
But I also hear the influence of Move Any Mountain by The Shamen at 0:23 in the song when I listen to Streets Of Rage - (Under Logic) at 0:29 in the video game music.
The time stamps mentioned are not referring to this video, but instead the actual tracks from each SOR stage and the actual tracks from the songs mentioned above
Só sonzeira man show...
Rave oldschool raiz...
4:03 I listen to that inner city track all the time now..... and I never caught the similarity. wow.
Yessir! Good Life! That's literally the whole I looked this up lol
'THE MAXI PRIEST' reminds me a little of the first level music in Sonyc, a sonic fangame for MSX2 and GBA. Some absolutely great artists here, yuzo had great taste
Very good
Franks Cardoso Thank you
So is this why Streets of Rage 3's soundtrack was so ass? Because Yuzo Koshiro stopped -plagarising- being influenced my early 90's dance music?
Cool
Cuttie1427 Wow man did not know they sampled Black Box a lot, They got some nice jams for sure!
2:08 also from Cult of Snap! by Snap!
And years later... Lisa Stanfield- All Around The World is definitely the inspiration for SOR1 level 8
I checked and You are right.
It also sounds like Keep On Movin' by Soul II Soul.
What about the piano part that sounds like Marky Mark and The Funky Bunch’s Good Vibrations?
Now try listening to this a room away, you might not notice the difference between the real songs and the SOR music. But of course you most likely do, considering that you are here and probably have played the game a million times and heard the SOR music just as much
@1:55 don't suppose anyone noticed that the song here is a sampling the mission impossible theme.....
What fool gave this a thumbs down
The Kraftwerk beat sounds like Mega Man 8 as well.
That Bob James sample was also used for RUN-DMC's Peter Piper beat.
Jungle Base in SOR2 sounds like Understand This Groove, listen to both tracks all the way
One of the pioneer of type beats 🤣🤣frfr G.O.A.T
I can also hear a little bit of Lisa Stansfiled in the tunes as well. Been around the world.
I wonder, is there enough out there to do the same on Revenge of Shinobi? I know one track was based on Prince's Batman song, but that's about it in terms of specific songs I know of.
I remember this. It was awesome the whole game.
Yeah, SOR II still one of my favourite games
Great job! For Stage 5 SOR1 try MARRS - Pump Up The Volume ^_-
AVEX Nice one Avex
The stage 5 always reminded me Baby Huey - Hard Time
That’s such a call, 👍
Someone needs to make an MSU-MD patch to get these songs to play in the game.
You can, just replace the audio files. You can use Magic ISO or a similar program. I actually replace the Arcade OST of Golden Axe with the Sega Ages PS2 OST. It's even easier to switch out tracks for MD+ patches but it can be done for both. :)
Attack the Barbarian is still cold!!!
Some musics have the wrong version of the cover shown. Like Black Box, the right reference is "Set me free"
STREET OF RAGE HARDCORE MIX!!!! 1993!!!!
I need to dj the entire OG set any see if anyone catches the familiarity lol.
Royal House - Can you party , Techtronic - Pump Up the Jam, Black Kiss - Jump on the floor are also similar, not the same for figthnign in the Street
Marshall Jefferson - Rock Your Body
anyone find any if the influences or inspiration of “Dreamer”?
SOR 1 Soundtrack > SOR 2 Soundtrack
Mystery Moji Films I would agree with you, SOR 1 definitely has some of the best music of the series.
SOR 3 Da BEST!
I like both of them equally.
@elflame2946 correctomundo
Ugh. Why does everyone always include the singing when comparing "Black Box Everybody" to SoR2? Just play the start of the 1990 Black Box Everybody song, it is so clear that 1992 SoR2 was influenced by it. When I first heard "black box everybody" in real life, i was like, "holy shit, sor2 borrowed/sampled from this song so much."
Thanks Yuzo. SOR 4 is 100% original music, right?
My favorite series in the whole world!
Oooh, you should do GTA San Andreas next 😏
i like the song alien power
where did he get that from
Yeah, that’s a great track, bass line is great. Couldn’t find any influences for that track.
Deep fuckin cuts
This is proper musical influenced production. I still do not understand how Robin Thicke and Pharrell lost that case...
That was a politically charged case
@@gc3k I hate that it set legal precedent for more chicanery and nonsensical cases to get brought up
4:50 That track called Mutoid Waste by Magoria is pure fire. I only found out about it from this video. Thank you.
Anyone who is interested, search for:
Magoria - Mutoid Waste (12 inch mix)
also known as
Magoria - Mutoid Waste (Tantric Tempo)
What’s Max up to at 6:12??
Go straight is ALL AROUND THE WORLD BY LISA STANFIELD SOUNDS SO SIMILAR
BUT KOSHIRO ADDS SOME DRUMS AND MORE SPEED.
Edit: IS ALL THE SONGS THAT U SHOW IN THE VIDEO + ALL AROUND THE WORLD LISA STANFIELD AT THE INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE PART.
soltero carlos perez
SOR 2's Never Return Alive was likely inspired by Loco Vox by Loco Mia.
lol more like Bites
i think i've got another pair: th-cam.com/video/LphLVvbOick/w-d-xo.html into th-cam.com/video/Xeloqt4Wkcw/w-d-xo.html
Great video but why not include the name of the songs too?
Thanks kyubajin. Most of the album covers show the songs, but I will put a list up of the songs soon. Thanks for watching
Uh-oh...
How many mountains you wanna move fam?
There is a big difference between samples and copying someone
"Influences"? More "samples" or "things ripped off" imo.
Just beat 1 and 2 and im in love with this soundtrack, too bad the CDs go for over $100 :(
They have them on vinyl if that's your thing.
@@DuoVII I have the vinyls for 1 and 2 and while they are great the individual loops are too short... better to boot up the game and go to the sound test and just have them loop infinitely! =P
You could just easily rip the audio from youtube and burn them. Collecting them is another story.
LOL, IVE THOUGHT YOU GONNA SHOW US THAT THE GAME OVER ONE WAS A STOLEN SONG.
"stolen" implies this was outright plagiarism and not drawing inspiration from popular music of its time
What about that elevator stage 7 in SOR? No known influence?!
The elevator song was likely inspired by Praga Khan - Injected with a poison (Adam's Power Mix).
My cousin said how can he get in touch with u tone
2:41 That's where Wrapped in Black from Sonic Rush came from
Klm?
"""Influences"""
The Bar Music on SOR2 was my 💩
Oh oh.. That's more that influence.
Eeeeeeeeee
'Never Return Alive' is also really similar to Love Revolution - Give It To Me Baby th-cam.com/video/hIxWWZh4RGE/w-d-xo.html
Nice spot
Yuzo basically ripped these songs off 90's dance/eurohouse and enhanced the sound. Plus the streets of rage game is also a mix between street fighter and TMNT and thats where he got influence for the game SF for the characters and TMNT for the beat them up style fighting.
He didn't rip them off because there is clear similarities but major differences. That's how all music works, something fuels something else in part or in whole
@@TheOneSymphony I understand, everyone has influences and looks at other sources to gather ideas and information; sometimes combining/merging them together. All I'm trying to say is he did rip off alot of the sounds and beats plus mixed them together. I grew up in the early 90's; so I knew all this music from radio, TV, dance clubs and even in the shopping malls because they use to blast this music.
@@tropicalbeach9225 that's the thing it's not ripping off. It only qualifies as ripping off if he barely changed anything but there are drastic changes
Somebody needs to get paid
go straight sounds like the danny phantom theme
even though I doubt these tracks were "an inspiration / an influence " one can see how it could have been so not bad not bad
They stated that they borrowed from many Urban artist for their work in Streets of Rage several times. They even listed the artist and works they pulled from so this is rumor it's fact.
where is this list you refer to?@@NeoNegate
They straight up remade the songs on outdated hardware. You must be deaf if you have any doubts there.
@@huuyuu5086 ...Do you want them to link you to your own ears?
if it's possible then sure why not @@johnbonhamsinger
People will still say Yuzo is genius.
2:13 WHAT??? Giorno's theme (jojo's bizarre adventure)
No not even close
Shamen's Move any mountain was an absolute blatant rip off ,the rest he was merely 'influenced' ,'inspired by' or 'borrowed'.
copy/paste
In Brazil we call up this... Plágio
Ass drums 🥁
I think if more people realised this there'd be a backlash against Yuzo Koshiro. It's essentially plagiarism to be honest.
The Mario Musician Kojo Kondo also plagiarized!
None of this is plagiarized as it sounds close but not direct in all cases. There's obvious differences and laws that cover that so with how popular this soundtrack is, there would have been major plagiarism cases in the courts. So definitely not plagiarism, it's how music works.
Shame on You Koshiro
@@andym2193 in manual from genesis game? I dont think so
Thank You Koshiro.
Hey at least the game music is good. He too some amazing influences. Nothing wrong with that.
Yuzo Koshiro is just a thief.
You watch your dirty mouth
You ever created a song? Until you do don't speak. The man is definitely not a thief.
@@TheOneSymphony Yes. Many. Been producing music for over 20 years.
@@mushshrap6471 then you're definitely doing something or don't know what you're doing because any music that's done will have similarities, close or gapped and can be equated to something else. Too many songs today use the same chordal modes or even just the chords of something else and will sound the same but I bet you won't say they are stealing
Is a sound engineer I have to cosign you 100%, he is certainly a thief if he was to do this practice in America he would have been put up on charges countless times he should be thankful that Japan will never hold their own people accountable for plagiarism on the international scale
Damn, so this is where all the SOR songs came from. Too bad SOR4 had a garbage as hell lazier soundtrack that got a free pass by riding the coat tales of SOR 1-3. Nothing in that game comes close to the music in 1-3
